Lol didnt see that :)

It is surprising how mediocre some filesystem support is. UDF and exFAT (the only universal and windows compatible filesystems with support for big files) both caused files to write but not appear on the disk afterwards. FAT32 doesnt show progress. And more I guess

Like a very slow and unique site for downloading BluRay decryption keys. essential for playing them with VLC and potentially extracting the contents too.

There is a torrent for the current archive to prevent DDOSing the site further and make sure the incredibly valuable keys dont vanish forever!

MPV cant read BluRays tho. But yes, I use it too through Haruna.

Yes and yes

To actually be clones without risk of mutated genomes, they would need to be sterile.

All the clone wars pseudo-canon showed that they were not sterile though 🤔

Systemd, systemd-boot, systemd-snapwn

Good stuff

The main question, where are the Snapdragon Laptops and is Linux support there?

ARM support highly depends on the device tree and drivers, as poorly it is often not standardised it seems.

An m2 Macbook would be the easy option, but soldered storage is horrible. Mac minis etc need a stupid adapter but then you can use NVMEs.

As in vibe-coded? XD

Oh damn. I was at a shitty startup once which uses macs/windows with google everything and additional external services. Worked through thunderbird and drive also through KDE’s KIO.

While I wouldnt want to maintain these things (similar to exchange support in thunderbird or DRM support in Firefox) they are extremely important for harm reduction.

Kinoite kind of is KDE Linux but better. Ostree relies on grub which is a bit annoying (NixOS uses systemd-boot but limine would be nice too) and they support more things like kernel modules.

Oh but Kinoite will switch to bootc some day, which currently is worse and looks like it will always be. Container people vs git people. Flatpak still uses ostree just fine.

Tbh if you run qbittorrent you can manually give it as much as you got in the settings.

The only good use of AI

Just choose anything. But really, you will be disappointed unless you use KDE on NixOS

Odysee and Dailymotion seem to be very fine and can use more creators. They work with a VPN and inside of Grayjay.

For Youtube I switched back to Newpipe which funny enough works very fine, while Grayjay simply doesnt. I like having all platforms in one player, but Grayjay has many issues

• no export in newpipe compatible format (lock-in)
• no direct outside-the-app downloads into normal usable containers
• not free software

Nice I will test Qt6-based (?) Krita 6.0.0

Get jackett and the world opens for you

Also games should be aquire carefully from trusted sources like the official fitgirl repacks site

What is the latest open source version?

But then you need a player on each platform, that works with m3u files

Which is very few, and buggy.

I use “Anrimians Simple Music Player” and Gapless/G4music, but songs are randomly disappearing from playlists. Also you need to usw default directories for the files.

Interesting! Gapless is the only modern one and it is fine-ish
